SUMMARY:Call for entries: Good Design Award 2025
DESCRIPTION:GOOD DESIGN AWARD is a social movement to make people’s lives\, industries\, and society more well-off through design. Since its start in 1957\, it has gained widespread support along with its logo G Mark. GOOD DESIGN AWARD is for products\, architecture\, software\, systems\, and services that are relevant to people. Whether visible or invisible\, anything that is constructed for some ideal or purpose is considered as design\, and its quality is evaluated and honored. \nIn an ever more complex society\, design has become indispensable for solving problems and discovering new ones\, and people’s expectations of design are gradually rising. The GOOD DESIGN AWARD helps people to discover the possibilities of design and expand the fields where design can be used through screening and a wide range of promotion\, and is dedicated to a well-off society where everyone can enjoy creative life. \nGOOD DESIGN AWARD is not a competition system to evaluate the merits of the design\, but a mechanism to obtain new “discoveries” through the evaluation\, and “share” with society together with G Mark to facilitate the next ” innovation”. \nLearn more: https://archive.g-mark.org/entryguide/en/index.html \nWDO Member: Japan Industrial Design Promotion

SUMMARY:Call for entries: 2025 Australian Good Design Awards
DESCRIPTION:Design is a powerful catalyst for change – it sparks innovation\, solves complex challenges\, and shapes the way we live. The 2025 Australian Good Design Awards embrace this transformative potential with the theme Rewarding\, Defining and Celebrating Better ______.“ \nThis year’s theme invites designers\, innovators\, architects\, engineers and creative thinkers to explore and articulate what “better” means in today’s world. \nBy leaving the statement open-ended\, the theme encourages a broad spectrum of interpretations. From better places\, spaces\, products\, and experiences – to more specific areas like workplaces\, buildings\, apps\, services\, branding\, and user interfaces – design’s potential for improvement is limitless. \nThe annual Awards aim to inspire entrants to showcase work that not only solves problems\, but also enriches experiences\, enhances sustainability\, and fosters progress in all aspects of our lives. \nThrough this theme\, the 2025 Awards reinforce their mission to not only recognise the best in design but to inspire a collective movement towards a better and more thoughtfully designed world. \nWe invite designers to demonstrate how their work creates measurable impact\, tackles real-world challenges\, and drives meaningful progress. \nWDO Member: Good Design Australia
